Do you believe we are in a "silent depression"?

[ForevrLonely29]

Despite what new sources and "data" claim, this is the economy where I have applied for hundreds of jobs and get nowhere. This is the economy where layoffs are everywhere, and white-collar jobs are on the chopping block. This is the economy with hiring freezes and ghost job postings. This is the economy where a can of chunk chicken costs $5 and a store-brand bottle of water costs over $3!!! This is the economy where I have ran through all my savings since my termination in mid-July. This is the economy where I cannot even afford to buy family gifts for Christmas.

I wouldn’t say it’s a silent depression, the depression is very loud and obvious, we’re in a cost of living crisis. The rich are getting richer, and more and more people are losing their jobs and struggling to even get by financially. Supermarkets are raising prices and houses are not affordable to newer generations, and most of them are scooped up by rich landlords anyway, so the hope of owning your own house is almost non existent unless you’re in a very high earning job, which could be made redundant at any moment. As the years go by more people are losing their wills to live.

A new gilded era.

You are forgetting the elite writing about themselves at all times. So a depression would slow the income of the richest. While the soup kitchen line double isn't written about.
